VODetails: '2 Days in New York'

More and more films premiere on Video on Demand — if they don't simply bypass a theatrical release altogether. Because VOD reviews are often scarce and hard to find, Criticwire created VODetails, a recurring column to help you figure out whether a new VOD release is worth your hard-earned dollar. This time we're looking at "2 Days in New York," the new film from "Before Sunrise" star Julie Delpy and not the iMovie slideshow of all the pictures from my 2011 summer vacation.

Director: Julie Delpy

Cast: Julie Delpy, Chris Rock, Alexia Landeau, Albert Delpy

Official Synopsis: "Marion and Mingus live cozily—perhaps too cozily—with their cat and two young children from previous relationships. However, when Marion’s jolly father (played by director Delpy’s real-life dad), her oversexed sister, and her sister’s outrageous boyfriend unceremoniously descend upon them for a visit, it initiates two unforgettable days that will test Marion and Mingus’s relationship. With their unwitting racism and sexual frankness, the French triumvirate hilariously has no boundaries or filters…and no person is left unscathed in its wake."
